Why is it considered necessary to nail down the lid of a coffin?!
Question: because they want you to give me ten pointssss
Answers: because they want you to give me ten pointssss
incase the person comes back as a zombie
to discourage grave robbing
Because they might be vampires and have faked their death.
great question!!!! why is that, it doesn't make any sense
So if they drop the coffin the body doesn't come rolling out scaring everyone.
to make it harder for grave robbers to steal the body
There is no point. The coffin will cave-in due to the weight of the dirt anyway.
Good question. They are not going to get out and come back ....
but with some people I guess you just don't want to take any chances.
To keep out dirt, bugs, worms, and burrowing animals.
That way, if the body needs to be dug up, its condition will be in better shape...
